For all our bespoke driving courses in Telford, we provide training on a range of roads and different areas, which can include:
Motorway training – The M54 starts at the western edge of Telford and joins the M6 north of Wolverhampton, and is a hectic route, especially during rush hours. Heavy motorway traffic can intimidate many drivers, causing them to avoid it, which often adds hours to a long journey. It is not just the motorway that is concerning; it is also the fast dual carriageways and large roundabouts leading to the junctions, which can be stressful, especially if you are unfamiliar with using them.
Advanced driver motorway training can help any driver gain confidence when using fast motorway routes. Apart from company fleet drivers, whom we often train, it’s the new drivers on their first motorway journeys and drivers who now have to drive for the family that we also frequently assist, along with those who suffer from motorway anxiety. Once you understand the regulations of motorways, including the Smart motorway systems, you will find that the rest of the UK is open for exploration more directly and much quicker.
Rural Roads – Within a few miles of Telford centre, you will be in rural areas with many miles of minor B roads and narrow lanes, which can be hazardous if you are not used to them. Rural driving poses numerous risks, including inadequate street lighting, fewer warning signs, and challenging roads.
Another problem with rural driving is the lack of speed cameras, and the temptation to speed can be high; unfortunately, it is often younger drivers who come to the most harm in such situations. The B4380 and the B5061, which lead to Shrewsbury, are hazardous roads similar to the A442 through Crudgington. There is much to be aware of when driving in rural areas. Our driver training is designed to help improve driver skills on these roads.
Urban Training – Telford has a very busy urban network of roads, with the junctions to the M54 only a short distance from the centre. The ring roads of Hall Park Way and Malinsgate are particularly accident-prone areas. There are many roundabouts and traffic light junctions, and these areas require the utmost patience and observation. Busy rush-hour traffic can be frustrating, and even though accidents in urban environments are less severe due to lower speeds, they can still cause road closures and costly insurance claims.
Any driver who needs to navigate busy towns must ensure they are using the basics of driving – mirror, signal, manoeuvre – as these can often be forgotten soon after passing the driving test. We have all been cut up by drivers who do not indicate or read the road, and this is the leading cause of urban accidents, so learning how to anticipate the actions of other drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists is vital.
